Abstract

Gibbs states of an infinite system of interacting quantum particles are considered. Each particle moves on a compact Riemannian manifold and is attached to a vertex of a graph (one particle per vertex). Two kinds of graphs are studied: (a) a general graph with locally finite degree, (b) a graph with globally bounded degree. In case (a), the uniqueness of Gibbs states has been shown under the condition that the interaction potentials are uniformly bounded by a sufficiently small constant. In case (b), the interaction potentials are random. Here, under a certain condition imposed on the probability distribution of these potentials, the almost sure uniqueness of Gibbs states has been shown.
